Abstract excerpt
Osteoarthritis (OA) etiology and pathogenesis not yet fully understood. We studied the role of vitamin D receptor single-nucleotide polymorphisms (VDR-SNPs), vitamin D3, serum and synovial macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the development and progression of knee OA (KOA). This study included 205 Egyptian subjects (105 patients with KOA and 100 unrelated, healthy...
